I always send my family to lionshead, golden peak caters to a higher end crowd and has that kinda attitude and feel. golden peak is at the base for lessons, lionshead is at the peak, for beginners it's nice for a true mtn feel.

The instructors overall are slightly more skilled on the lionshead side for advanced snowboard lessons, advance ski would be gp.

If you can swing it, get a 3 day lesson. Price wise it's like getting an extra free day of instruction and you will likely be alone.

I'm planning on doing the 3 day package + lift, but might not take the 3rd day. I still come out ahead. I have friends family I want to ride with, so I might have to skip the 3rd lesson.

I've also done most of the blues at steamboat.

The question I have for lessons is the following:

~~Want to book a lesson but they have a choice of locations - Golden Peak & Lionshead. I never rode at vail so I have no idea as to what the difference is (I have walked the village
